Your Questions Answered by a Knowledgeable Lawyer

Is it better to file for Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy? Determining which type of bankruptcy to file will be based entirely upon
your unique situation. No two cases are the same, and as a result, no
two cases should be approached in an identical manner. It will be encouraged
for anyone considering bankruptcy to speak with an experienced lawyer
who understands the nuances of the law and can apply the best possible
solution based entirely upon your unique needs and goals.

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy? Both forms of bankruptcy can be an effective way for consumer debtors
to live life debt free. Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically refers to a legal
process in which your assets are liquidated to pay back your creditors.
In order to qualify for Chapter 7, you must first pass a means test.

Chapter 13 can be a great option for consumer debtors who still have the
financial ability to pay back their debt over a specific period of time.
Upon creating a repayment plan, Chapter 13 will allow a consumer debtor
to pay off debts in more manageable increments over time.

Will I lose everything if I file for bankruptcy? Perhaps one of the greatest misconceptions concerning the bankruptcy process
is that many people feel as though their life will be ruined after filing.
This could not be further from the truth! Under the protection of Oklahoma's
bankruptcy exemptions,
you can keep certain types of property after filing for bankruptcy. This could include the following:

Home

Personal property

Wages earned within 90 days prior to filing

Tools of trade

Pensions, public benefits, child support, alimony, and insurance

Is there life after bankruptcy? Absolutely. Though filing for bankruptcy will remain on a credit score
for up to 10 years, this does not mean that your line of credit will be
ruined forever. With the right guidance, and by making informed decisions
regarding your financial status, you can repair your credit score in as
little as 6 months! In fact, some people have rebuilt their credit score
to 720 in under a year, allowing them to qualify for new credit cards,
apply for loans, or purchase new homes.
